Please tell me I'm not the only one who's sim has so much stuff in their pockets that it starts to become impossible to find things when you need them. But yet for example you don't want to throw them away since they might be ingredients for an herbal remedy or cooking etc.
We need to have a feature to sort all of this. The first one would be a search bar that functions like the one in Build/Buy You can search for items then the others will dissapear except the ones you're looking for. So search for "treefish" will get the magical treefish to only appear in your inventory (assuming you have it)
The second method would be a way to FILTER out only certain types. It would function like the one in cas. For example "Show only fish, herbs, fruits, plants, furniture" etc.
The third method would be a sort by. An example would be sort by Date obtained, Type (fish, herbs, my sims etc), quantity, Rarity, Alphabetically etc.
Anyone else agree with me that we need better inventory sorting features?

You tried fishing with bait when you have just harvested the garden? It lists every single item, not the stack...every item - lol
The personal inventory certainly needs some kind of sorting as well...be even nicer if they threw in a hotbar as well, to stick items like current song being written, bit of fruit and so on.

This right here!
I would love a sorter and be able to choose what I want to use for bait and make just those items chosen for bait. What harvestables I want to hold in the inventory for snacking, separate from the other sorts. For heaven's sakes, why can't dinner servings be listed first in the refrigerator? Gosh, I have to go searching for plates that may be close to spoiling. Again I think the people over this stuff could use a bit of imagination, or at least show some care. I am not seeing it.
Great Idea!!! I was trying to fertilize my garden with fish. But my Sim had so much stuff in her inventory, I'm scrolling and scrolling, and scrolling....knowing dang well I had fish in my inventory but couldn't find them. Talk about slowing you down. It bothered me that I would see a carrot, and then spinach, and then later another carrot. Like why aren't all the carrots grouped together or something. Just crazy. If you're on the Guru chats on Tuesday's please present this idea. It's a great one.
With my work schedule I never seem to make it, but if someone would like to link this thread and suggest it since it seems to be getting alot of support, I'd be more than happy
i was clamoring for this back in september... before all of the other game's shortcomings snowballed and made it unplayable for me. inventory management is not fun.
I just wanted to say nice Profile picture
Thank you

Since I can't edit public spaces, I may go in to the parks and add plant boxes so I can graft things there.

Please allow inventory sorters and can we get a cabniet or something that we could put the herbs in? Storage for insects and frogs would be awfully nice too. Everything has such a big foot print in this game it drives me batty.
Storage for everything would be nice -- frogs, aliens (for us space explorers), insects, crystals, metals -- at least we've got the display case for the elements.

It really would. I like to go for multiple aspirations sometimes and bounce around. I'm working on all the nature/collecting ones now and it's just a mess. And messes make me crazy, lol.
I stopped bothering with the collector aspriation cause I didn't know where to keep all the stuff.
Another thing that would help is a command on the refrigerator to Get Leftovers. We have a command to put leftovers into the refrigerator so I don't understand why we don't have one to take them back out.
I either mount the fish or use them as bait. For gardening, I send him over to his gf's house and there he has sliced plants and planted his pomegranates. She is the gardener/herbalist and he is a fisher/collector. I keep track of what both collect so that when they get together, it will show some completed collections for both of them.
My Mood:
If you click on the hunger icon in the needs panel (the ball on the left side of the bar) Sims will automatically grab leftovers from the fridge, but it's pretty random; my Sims tend to go for the leftover birthday cake over the Caprese salad (they must take after me in that regard).

Thanks! I didntn realize there is a little thing you can click on in inventory to see how close you are to competing the collection that will help! The only stuff I like to keep now are herbs and insects and I put the veggies and fruit in the fridge.
